Sooo I am a bit back I suppose. I know this chapter is short, but hey it's at least something. So adore it, love it, cuddle it, marry it, if you wish to hate it leave the room now and may rats shit on your eyes. –smiles- Ok now on with the show….

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Robin walked into the hallway which led to a flight of stairs and a couple of rooms, he made sure he was out of the Titans' sights.

He reached into his Jean's pocket and took out a cell phone, quickly flipped it open and dialed a number.

"…Hello?"

"Hey I got what you wanted, it took me a while to find it, but I got it. It looks more like it found me."

"So there are no problems at the moment I suppose?"

"None whatsoever. But 1st tell me more about what I'm supposed to do."

"Well since you have her now, you might need some background info. She's 17, her mother was a Tamaran, and father is a pure demon…"

"What do you mean 'was'?

"Mother died when she was about 5 years old. People say her father killed her mother. No one really knows what happened, except maybe the little 5 year old. She doesn't really have family, from what I know of."

"…"

"What I must really express to you Robin, is that she can be very dangerous with her powers. Try to be on her good side, be her friend; do not let her find out what your real job is. And what I must really make sure is that you don't mix business with pleasure. Is that clear?"

"Umm…y-y-yeah, don't worry you can trust me Cloud."

"That's Mr.Valentine to you."

"So what do I do with her? I got her for you, don't you want her?"

"I'll obtain her when the time comes. You won't notice a thing. I think that is quite better for you, since you already have an honorable reputation as a Titan. No one will notice you were in on this, and most importantly they don't need to know that you are a very close friend and criminal partner with the notorious Cloud Valentine, criminal mastermind…"

"Good. I can't risk all those things getting out into the open-"

"…What things Robin?" A voice asked sleepily from behind him.

Robin quickly turned around to face a sleepy looking Trishelle who was yawning.

"Cloud I'll get back to you later. Something has came up."

"Keep it business related Mr. Grayson. Goodbye."

-click-

Robin flipped his cell phone closed and quickly buried it in his pocket.

"Trishelle I didn't know you were awake…" Robin replied a bit nervously as he straightened his posture.

"I just woke up. I'm always having nightmares, so I don't sleep much. Too bad I can't remember them." She scratched her head.

"What kind of nightmares?" Robin asked sounding very interested.

"I don't really know…I can never really remember them, only the fact that it's the same one each and every night of my boring life." Trishelle added as she looked down sadly.

'Wow it sounds like she really hates her life…am I right to be the bad guy here?...'

"Eh, hello? You zoning out again?" Trishelle asked waving her hand in front of Robin's pensive face.

"Oh sorry Trish, I just have a lot on my mind."

"Like saving the world?"

"y-y-yeah something like that."

"…" Trishelle took back her smile and felt a wave of uneasiness brush against her.

Robin looked up at her and quickly changed the subject. "Sooo I don't want to seem to forward, but we all were wondering if maybe you'd like to stay with us for a while…"

"I can't. I just really can't. I mean you guys must be really crowded in here-"

"Reaaaally?" Robin raised his eyebrows as he pointed to a long hallway leading to rooms and more rooms.

"Errr-well I also have to, ya know take care of my place, like pay rent, feed my goldfish, take care of my family" She lied as she tapped her shoe nervously.

Robin leaned against the wall, "You know you don't have goldfish, and plus you don't have a family-"

Trishelle stopped tapping her foot and looked at Robin confused. She slowly took a step away from him.

"That seriously didn't come out right…" Robin shook his head as he tried to reach out to her, her eyes looking like they were going to burst with tears.

"Why did you say that?...How do you even know that Robin?" Trishelle spoke softly while shifting her eyes everywhere and looking at him strangely.

'Shit…me and my huge mouth. Fuck how do I explain that to her…'

Robin put his arms and her shoulders, but Trishelle shook his arms off and looked at him angrily and confused at the same time.

"Trishelle why are you cry-" A voice sounding like Starfire said from a few feet away in the hallway.

Robin quickly looked at Starfire and Trishelle. He noticed Trishelle was going to say something so he had to take matters into his own hands.

Robin grabbed Trishelle and kissed her deeply so she wouldn't say a word.

'He's hiding something..' Trishelle thought carefully.
